Home for the Holidays: A festive evening supporting Habitat for Humanity

 

Kick off the holiday season with Habitat for Humanity at an event that blends celebration, community, and the mission of building homes and hope.

Home for the Holidays will take place on Thursday, November 20, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the historic venue, The Big House. Guests will enjoy delicious bites from 14 local restaurants, including new restaurants opening soon, such as Delta Biscuit Company and Party Fowl. The event supports Habitat’s expanding Ruston neighborhood of 17 planned homes, with the first two already complete and more underway.

Now in its third year, Home for the Holidays has become a community tradition that blends holiday spirit with purpose. Nancy Hunt, board member and Chair of the event, shared, “This night is such a special way to shine a light on the incredible work Habitat is doing right here in Ruston. Every dollar raised goes directly back into building strong, stable homes for local families.”

This year’s event is made possible thanks to the generosity of Argent Financial Group, HGA, Century Next Bank, Origin Bank, Durrett Law & Title, and Southern States Equipment.

A Night of Excitement and Giving

A highlight of the evening will be the live auction at 8 p.m., featuring an exciting lineup of premium experiences and packages, including:

  • A private chef dinner by renowned Chef Cory Bahr
  • An Australian Mountain Doodle puppy — ready just in time for Christmas
  • A relaxing getaway to Chileno Bay, Cabo San Lucas
  • A Texas Rangers Suite Experience
  • A cozy Winter Cabin Getaway in Broken Bow, OK
  • And more unforgettable offerings

Every bid and every ticket directly supports Habitat for Humanity’s mission to build safe, affordable homes for families in Ruston and North Louisiana.
